| Tasking Type: | Main task | ||
| For: | Airplanes, Helicopters | ||
| Available Under: | |||
| Description: | Assigns a point on the ground for which the AI will do a strafing run with guns or rockets. | ||
| Format: | This task needs to be in the following format.
Strafing= {
id = 'Strafing',
params = {
point = Vec2,
weaponType = number,
expend = enum AI.Task.WeaponExpend,
attackQty = number,
attackQtyLimit = boolean,
direction = Azimuth,
directionEnabled = boolean,
groupAttack = boolean,
length = number,
}
}
Required parameters: point: vec2 coordinate of the target. Can also be an x and y values directly in params table. attackQty: Number of times the group will attack if the target. Optional Parameters: All other variables are optional. Some variables require other entries, for example the boolean values require the corresponding value if the boolean is true. expend: Enum that defines how much munitions the AI will expend per attack run. attackQtyLimit: boolean that defines whether or not the attackQty value will be used. groupAttack: If true then each aircraft in the group will attack the point. length: The total length of the strafing target. | ||
| Enumerators: | weaponType is a number associated with a correspond weapons flags
AI.Task.WeaponExpend "QUARTER" = "Quarter" "TWO" = "Two" "ONE" = "One" "FOUR" = "Four" "HALF" = "Half" "ALL" = "All" | ||
| Examples: | The following will make the group "dakka" do a strafing run on a target with a quarter of its rockets.
local target = {}
local zone = trigger.misc.getZone("targetPractice")
target.point = {x = zone.point.x, y = zone.point.z}
target.expend = "Quarter"
target.weaponType = 30720
target.attackQty = 1
local engage = {id = 'Strafing', params = target}
Group.getByName('dakka'):getController():setTask(engage)
